Find my Past question

Is there anyone else on Wikitree who has a subscription to 'Find my Past'

&

uses 'Find my Past' to store their family tree

&

then uses WikiTree Sourcer to transfer a profile from 'FmP' to Wikitree ?

It was my intention to use this process during the recent 'Connect-a-Thon' but it would appear that 'FmP' have recently changed the format of their service, a lot more graphic images involved.

And my attempt to overcome this problem resulted in some deletions to existing relationships, and some duplication of profiles, which i am in the process of sorting out.

But i don't want to be a bother to Rob Pavey if i am the only one who would use this process as it is always possible for 'FmP' to change the format again in the future without any notice. I have only been a member of 'Fmp' for a little over 6 months and it has already changed twice in that period.

Commenting rather than answering because I don't meet all your criteria.

I have had a FMP subscription since 2016, their record collections are very good, I find their search process much better than some other sites and results are more likely to actually be for the person I am researching than either FS or Ancestry.

Having said that I find their 'trees' very clunky', and complicated to add either people or records.

I have a very basic tree on the site and have yet to find anything new on other members trees that involve the same families.

'uses WikiTree Sourcer to transfer a profile from 'FmP' to Wikitree'.

No, and wouldn't even think about it- if I was going to transfer profiles from one site to WT, I would use Ancestry-my own extensive tree because I trust it- and perhaps profiles on FS that I have contributed to and know the profiles are accurate.

FMP records are their strength, not the trees, that I feel were only added because subscribers seemed to want that option.
I also use FMP for the records but not to build a tree.

I added “Save Person Data” for FMP tree person pages to Sourcer for completeness but  it does seem fragile.
